The ││font files contain letters [ and characters ] for building different size and ││style titles.  Titles which are created are stored on disk in an ASCII file so││that code may be merged into a QuickBASIC program.                            ││                                                                              ││These so called [ FONTS ] were created using the IBM extended character set.  ││The Bold Font is the largest of the font sets; it includes alpha and numeric  ││characters, and some common symbols on the Key Board (= + * &, etc).  OutLine ││font set includes letters and numbers.  The other font sets normally include  ││only letters A - Z and [Space].  Different versions of program may contain    ││different fonts and you may want to experiment with various options to find   ││if a particular set contains a number or symbol you need.                     ││                                                                              ││╚═════<C>reate The Title File(s)                                              ││The MENU shows fonts available, giving approximate size in lines and spaces   ││[ie 6 x 8]. The selected font style is loaded from disk file and then prompts ││at the Input Screen indicate maximum number of characters that can be included││for that particular style.  With some fonts, the shift 2 [@] key produces a   ││quote mark [CHR$(34)].  Create a separate file for each title line.           │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤└─────┤Press <Esc> to EXIT├────────────────┤ <PgUp[]> ├─────┤ <PgDn[]> ├─────┘┌────┤ TITLE BUILDER HELP FILE ├───────────────────────────┤ Page 2 of 4 ├─────┐│                                                                              ││╚═════<S>toring Title Line                                                    ││After you enter title, the computer asks for file name for storing the title. ││Be careful in naming these temporary files; this program overwrites any file  ││with the same name.
